In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
Surah Al-Baqarah
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Kind words and forgiveness are better than charity followed by harm
God is Rich and Merciful
A beautiful saying and a man’s prayer for his Muslim brother
He concealed himself from him when he learned of his solitude and bad condition
It is better in the sight of God than charity given in charity and followed by harm
God is sufficient for what they give in charity
He is forbearing when he does not hasten punishment on those of you who believe in his charity
It harms those who give charity
O you who have believed, do not nullify your alms with insults and harm
Do not nullify your charity with harm and harm
Like the one who spends what he has to show off to people
He does not believe in God and the Last Day
His example is that of Safwan who was covered with dust and was struck by a hail of rain
A barrage hit him and left him hardened
They cannot gain anything of what they have earned
And God does not guide the disbelieving people
O you who have believed God and His Messenger
Do not nullify the rewards of your charity with harm and harm
It also nullifies the disbelief of the one who spends what he sees in people by his work
He does not believe in the oneness and divinity of God
His example is like smooth stones with dirt on them
It was hit by a heavy rain
So the rain left Al-Safwan with nothing of the plant or anything else on it
So are the actions of hypocrites
In the same position as the Safwan that had dust on it
The rain hit him
So he went with all the dirt on him
He left it pure, with no dust or anything on it
Muslims see that they have deeds on the surface, just as they see the dirt on this fine linen
On the Day of Resurrection, they will not be able to receive the reward for anything they earned in this world
God does not repay them for not being entitled to their expenses and other things
But he left them blinded in their error
And like those who spend their money seeking God’s pleasure and stability
And to establish themselves as a garden like a hill
Like a garden with a hill that was struck by a rain shower and yielded double its fruit
It bears fruit twice as long, and if a rain shower does not hit it, it will fail
And God sees what you do
And like those who spend their money and give it in charity
And they carry it for the sake of God
They strengthen those in need, including invaders and mujahideen for the sake of God
And in other obedience to God
And to encourage them to spend
With sound determination and certainty in the promise of God Almighty
So he strengthened them and corrected their resolve
Like an orchard with a bunch of land
It rose above streams and valleys
It is in the thickest parts of the earth
And orchards of the land
Better and purer in fruit, planting and cultivation than what was left of it
Paradise was struck by heavy, heavy rain
It yielded double fruit
If it does not get rain, it will get dew and soft rain
And God sees what you do, people, regarding the expenses you spend
Nothing is hidden from him
Rather, he means this proverb
As the fruit of this paradise weakened
When the barrage was serious
If this barrage misses, it falls
Likewise, God weakens the charity of the one who gives charity
The one who spends his money seeking his pleasure and strengthening himself
Without harm or harm
His expenses decreased or increased
Would any of you like to have a garden of palm trees?
A garden of palm trees and vines under which rivers flow
Rivers flow beneath it, and he has in it all kinds of fruits, and old age has struck him
He was afflicted with old age and had weak offspring, so it was hit by a hurricane containing fire and it was burned
Thus God makes clear to you the verses that you may reflect
Would any of you like to have a garden of palm trees and grapes?
Underneath the garden rivers flow, and he has in it all kinds of fruits. And one of you has become old
He has young children, and a hurricane of fire struck Paradise
So his paradise was burned in case he needed it and needed its fruit
It is larger and weaker than its architecture
If his son is young and unable to revive her and take care of her, then he is left with nothing
Likewise, the spender does not show people’s hypocrisy. God extinguishes his light and nullifies his reward
Until he met him and returned to him in dire need of his work
When there is no repentance for him, no absolution from his sins, and no repentance
Just as your Lord has made clear to you the matter of spending for His sake
He also explains to you the verses other than that
He will make you aware of its rulings, what is permissible and what is forbidden
To think with your minds
So ponder and consider God’s arguments in it
Just as We brought you out of the land
And do not spend from the evil one
And you will not take it unless you immerse yourself in it
And they knew that God is Rich, Praiseworthy
O you who have believed God and His Messenger
Pay zakat and give in charity from the goodness of your wealth that you have earned lawfully
And from what We brought out for you from the earth
Of palm trees, vines, wheat, barley, and plants of the earth
Do not intentionally and intentionally misuse your money and give some of it in charity
And you do not accept the evil in your rights
Unless you are negligent in taking it from part of what is obligatory for you
So make concessions for yourselves
This is in zakat
But if a man volunteers to give charity
Even though I hate for him to give in it anything but the best and best of his money
I do not forbid him to give anything other than what is good
Because what is less good may be more beneficial due to its abundance or great danger
He is in a better position than the poor
And know that God is free of your charity and anything else
He is praised by His creation for the blessings He bestowed upon them and the extension of His bounty to them
Satan promises you poverty and commands you to commit adultery
And God promises you His forgiveness and bounty
And God is All-Encompassing and All-Knowing
Satan promises you, people, to give charity and to pay zakat, lest you become poor
He commands you to disobey God
And God promises to cover your shame
And He will forgive you your sins with the charity that you give
He promises to reward you with your charity
May He bestow His gifts upon you
May He bless you in your livelihood
God is abundant in the bounty that He promises to give you
He knows your expenses and the charity that you spend and give in charity
He gives wisdom to whomever He wishes
Whoever is given wisdom has been given much good
And only men of understanding remember
God grants correctness in word and deed to whomsoever He pleases among His servants
Whoever is given this has been given much good
Only those with rational minds learn from it
Those who understood God Almighty’s commands and prohibitions
Whatever you spend or vow you make
God knows him
And the oppressors have no supporters
What charity did you give in charity and what vow did you make?
All of this is with God’s knowledge
Nothing escapes him
And whoever spends what he has does not show people’s hypocrisy
His vows were to Satan
Who will help them from God on the Day of Resurrection?
He pays a punishment for them
If it looks like charity, it is what it is
But if you hide it and give it to the poor, that is better for you
And He will atone for you some of your bad deeds
God is Aware of what you do
If you declare alms
So you give it to whomever you give it to in charity
So yes, it is a good thing
Even if they concealed it, you did not declare it
And you give it to the poor in secret
It is better for you to hide it than to announce it
This is in voluntary charity
And God will atone for you through your charity your sins
By God, what you do for your charity
Of announcement and secrets about it
And in other of your works, he is experienced and knowledgeable
None of this is hidden from him
